In Reply to: Integrated or separate, what sounds better? posted by chgolatin2@yahoo.com on February 21, 2007 at 13:16:28:
Is, IMHO, the next best thing in an integrated that performs like seperates (power & finesse) and doesn't cost an arm or a leg. Admittently though, you can get 'better' performance with other seperates but the price will be higher. With your set-up though, the Dussun V-8i might very well be the ticket and will certainly drive your VR-2's to very satisfying levels.No, I'm not a dealer but i've heard this beauty and it's worth every penny.AP

Hey dussan owners, i just ordered ds99-the baby brother of the dussan line. Do any of you know what size bindig posts it has. Trying to decide between spades and bananan plug termination
but I think all Dussun amps have pretty beefy binding posts--the V8i, especially. I think you'll be safe with spades. It might be worth an email to the importer, AAA Audio, at info@aaa-audio.com just to confirm, though.
As you said, sure, you can get better performance with some separates, but IME you have to spend a bit of coin to do it. With the requisite Jena Labs jumpers, the V-8i becomes a stone KILLER. With the stock jumpers, though, it's seriously hamstrung, IMO. I'm using the Dussy in a second, "casual-listening" system with VR-4 HSEs, and I have few complaints. It rocks pretty hard.
